This review is from: Le Cordon Bleu Wine Essentials: Professional Secrets to Buying, Storing, Serving, and Drinking Wine (Hardcover)
I have a number of books on wine. None are complete but this comes close. It is a resource that I keep handy and refer to often. It does not try to be encyclopedic in this coverage but it does cover all the major points that will help you enjoy wines and understand more about order, serving and complementing wines with food. Highly recommend.
